Theme
“Everything happens for a reason.” That is a quote I say for everything. Not the best things have happened to me and I always say everything happens for a reason to keep me positive. If anyone has a problem I always say everything happens for a reason. There is a reason for everything even if you disagree there is an explanation for everything. If there wasn't a reason for something then what was the point of it happening.
Setting
The place where I see myself being happiest and at my best is sitting around a bonfire with all of my friends. The glowing embers flying up from the slight breeze as the glowing orange and yellow fire hugging the burning wood. I can see all of us wrapped in blankets laughing so hard. I see my best friend Alena not being able to breathe and Coco on the floor from how hard they are laughing. I look over and see BenG looking for a song to play and singing a long to it. I see Chandler sitting next to me laughing at everyone. I see Trevor across from me making jokes and MIchael adding onto them.
Conflict
The realization of me going to college in 3 years and having to pick a college in less than 2 years has hit me. In 8th grade I always talked about how i'm gonna do so much in highschool so I can get into a good college and so far I haven't done anything. I'm already at my second year of high school so I really need to start doing things I just don't know where to start.
Characterization
The three most important people in my life right now is my boyfriend Chandler and my best friend Alena who has been through everything with me my other best friend and Marley. My main focus in life has always been my friends because they are what keeps me motivated and keep me at my best. No matter what day or time it is they are always there for me and I will always be there for them. When I am with them I am at my happiest.
Protagonist
I am at my best whenever I am around my boyfriend Chandler or all my of my bestfriends. When I am with them all of my fears and worries go away and I can only focus on the moment and mine and my friends happiness. They never cease to make me laugh and smile. They are there for me no matter what and I will always be there for them.
Antagonist
The person that brings out the worst in me is my sister. It’s the older sister younger sister rivalry. Ever since we were young we got into fights 24/7. She’s in college now and we still get in fights. We are complete opposites so we never get along. I wish we could get along because she's my sister and we shouldn't fight this much but we are such opposite people it’s hard for us to have a decent conversation so when i'm around her I just turn into a mean person that I don't like.
Flashback
One memory I will never forget was this past summer a group of me and my friends went camping and I have never felt so happy and loved. If you know me then you know that my friends are my everything and they mean the world to me, so since I was able to spend 3 straight days with all of my best friends I will cherish that forever. We would run down to the beach and climb little mountains. There was a bench placed perfectly on top of a mountain looking over the beach and the sunset. Sitting by the campfire talking was the most memorable part. I’m scared for the day we graduate high school.
Irony
After I dated Chandler once in 8th grade I said I wouldn't date him ever again and a year later I’m dating him again. I thought it was never gonna happen again because we drifted a lot. We had many ups and downs through the years. Eventually we did become friends again in ninth grade to ultimately end up together to this day.
Symbolism
There is a polaroid picture on my wall that is a picture of me and my friends in our tent from camping. I think this picture symbolises me because my friends are what matter most to me in my life and who my friends are is a reflection of who I am. They have been through it all with me so they know all of my worries and fears. They have seen me at my worst and they are still by my side. I am so thankful for my friends and I don't know where I would be without them or what kind of person I would be without their guidance.
Foreshadowing
Ever since I was young I knew I wanted to do something in the medical field so I have always done things from pretending to operate on a stuffed potato to suchering on banana’s. This year I will be joining a club for students wanting to be somewhere in the medical field so hopefully that will give me a good look at what the medical field is like.
